They’re right. Robert Kennedy Jr. often shares misinformation about vaccines. But, his family countered, writing:

“Immunizations prevent some 2 million to 3 million deaths a year, and have the potential to save another 1.5 million lives every year with broader vaccine coverage, according to the WHO. Smallpox, which plagued mankind for thousands of years, has been eradicated through vaccines.”

Most vaccination efforts are aimed at protecting children, but adults also need to be immunized to protect against some rough diseases.

“Adults forget about their own health,” Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Center for Preparedness and Response, told TODAY. “It is important that adults get vaccines to protect themselves. If you are protecting yourself, you can’t pass illness on.”
